Forum rules
This forum is meant for general questions about the usability of OJS from an everyday user's perspective: journal managers, authors, and editors are welcome to post questions here, as are librarians and other support staff. We welcome general questions about the role of OJS and how the workflow works, as well as specific function- or user-related questions.

What to do if you have general, workflow or usability questions about OJS:

1. Read the documentation. We've written documentation to cover from OJS basics to system administration and code development, and we encourage you to read it.

2. take a look at the tutorials. We will continue to add tutorials covering OJS basics as time goes on.

3. Post a question. Questions are always welcome here, but if it's a technical question you should probably post to the OJS Technical Support subforum; if you have a development question, try the OJS Development subforum.

I have used the QuickSubmit Plugin to publish articles. However, the authors have submitted in OJS, and we have assigned editor there too, but that's all we have used the system to. Now the result is a long list of articles that are in review, but they are in fact published. We would like to start using OJS for the whole publishing process and need to get our system together. Is there any way to move the articles from the status "in review" to "Archive"?

I find the option "Reject and archive", it'll work, but that'll mess up the lists. Also, I have found that if I record the article as accepted and the proofs to complete, the article is moved to "In editing", a bit closer to archived but yet not there.

What is the value of the "status" column for those entries in the "articles" table?

Were you scheduling them against a published issue, or an issue that was yet to be published?

Were you uploading a galley file (e.g. a PDF) at the time you were doing the QuickSubmit process?

Hi- in the list called 'Archive' [Home > User > Editor > Submissions > Archives], their status is a published issue - that what you meant?- I'd say both, but mainly to an issue yet to be published- yes

You'll need to get access to the database -- the details will depend on your server. If you have phpMyAdmin, use that; it's the easiest way. (Most shared hosts offer it or another similar web front-end to MySQL.) Once in, run...
